I have created a dialog called ApiKeyDlg which I have nested in the UI. The UI is a direct copy of the built-in WixUI_InstallDir with some minor tweaks.
I have added the dialogref and the publish elements, but for some reason the ApiKeyDlgdialog does not show. Neither candle.exe or light.exe display any errors, and the MSI file installs perfectly, just without showing my custom dialog.
There are many questions similar to this one on Stackoverflow, I have read 8 or 10 of them and haven't got any closer to answering my own. I have also read this guide (https://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/wixui/wixui_customizations.html), specifically the last paragraph about "Inserting a custom dialog into a built-in dialog set" but something isn't clicking and I'm not getting any further.
The order (for an installation) should be:
Welcome
License
ApiKey
Verify
Exit (complete)

I have managed to add a custom dialog in the middle of the sequence which collects several values from the user and saves them to the registry (in the dialog with ID ApiKeyDlg).
However, I'm having difficulty (5+ hours wasted) replacing the WelcomeDlg with a custom dialog during major upgrades only. I.E. I want to show a custom WelcomeDlg that goes straight to the VerifyReadyDlg for Major Upgrades (detected using Installed OR PREVFOUND).
I have also tried using WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED, same results.
What am I doing incorrectly here? Is it my condition that is failing or am I misunderstanding the process of editing the sequence?
Light.exe shows no errors, but it fails to either:
Detect that an older version of the app is already installed
Show the UpgradeWelcomeDlg after detecting an old version installed
I'm not sure how I can narrow down which part is failing?

Ultimately, I want to show completely different dialogs for Major Upgrades compared to an initial install.
Well then... I just managed to get it working using this:
<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">NOT Installed OR NOT PREVFOUND OR NOT WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="UpgradeWelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">Installed OR PREVFOUND OR WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED</Publish>
Perhaps writing this question cleared my mind! Who knows.
I've a wix installation with a custom dialog added into the installation: ProgramDataInstallDlg
This is what my UI-tag look like for the whole project:
<UI Id="my_UI">
<UIRef Id="WixUI_FeatureTree" />
<DialogRef Id="ProgramDataInstallDlg" />
<Publish Dialog="CustomizeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="ProgramDataInstallDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="ProgramDataInstallDlg">1</Publish>
</UI>
Everything works fine if only next is pressed. But if back button is pressed in VerifyReadyDlg or next button in CustomizeDlg is pressed. I get error 2856.
This is what the installation log says:
DEBUG: Error 2856: Creating a second copy of the dialog ProgramDataInstallDlg
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2856. The arguments are: ProgramDataInstallDlg, ,

If you are customizing the UI I suggest to create a custom WixUI_FeatureTree.
Take a look at the code below. I took the default template and used your dialog name in the appropriate places.
From your custom dialog remove the following lines:
<Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="CustomizeDlg">1</Publish>
The main dialog:

I am creating Wix installer which will create app pool,virtual directory and doing some other settings for virtual directory. Now before it create virtual directory, I want to display a dialog to get the username and password from user and set it in App Pool. The installer already uses WixUI_Minimal to show license agreement and progress screen. I want to show my custom dialog after License screen.
How can I change the built-in sequence of WixUI_Minimal and place my dialog box?
Below is the code for the changes that I have made for the execution sequence of Wix_Minical dialog set. PoolSettingsDlg is my dialog.
NOTE: I am using Wix 3.9.1006.0 version

WixUI_Minimal isn't a good choice for what you are trying to do because it displays 1 dialog and then exits the wizard loop.
A better approach would be to build upon the WixUI_FeatureTree experience. You can insert a dialog after the license dialog with this XML:
<!-- Insert into dialog sequencing by inserting control events on previous and next dialogs-->

FWIW, I maintain an open source project called IsWiX that does this you. It projects project visual studio project templates (scaffolding) that has a fragment that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
<Fragment>
<UI Id="UI">
<!-- See http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_index.htm for more information-->
<UIRef Id="WixUI_FeatureTree"/>
<!--Uncomment to inject a custom dialog into the install wizard loop -->
<!--<UIRef Id="CustomDlg"/>-->
</UI>
</Fragment>
</Wix>
You simply uncomment the UIRef line to pull in an additional fragment that looks like this.

Using IsWiX it's possible to create a basic installer for a desktop app, windows service and IIS web application without typing a lick of XML. This really helps with the learning curve. As your skills improve you can customize by authoring additional XML.
I am working on creating a custom WixUi configuration, here is what I've done so far:
Copied the WixUI_Minimal.wxs file into my project and changed the Id to: WixUI_CustomMinimal
Copied the WelcomeEulaDlg.wxs file into my project and changed the Id to: CustomWelcomeEulaDlg
Copied the WelcomeDlg.wxs file into my project and changed the Id to: CustomWelcomeDlg
Added InstallTypeDlg.wxs to my project
Modified the CustomWelcomeEulaDlg to change the Install button to a next button.
Modified WixUI_CustomMinimal to make the Next/NextNoShield buttons on WelcomeEulaDlg open the InstallTypeDlg dialog
Added the InstallTypeDlg Dialog to the InstallUiSequence.
So now the problem: I am trying to setup a back button on InstallTypeDlg, this is working but after pressing the back button and then pressing the next button on CustomWelcomeEulaDlg InstallTypeDlg is skipped and it goes straight to installing.
Here are my files:
WixUI_CustomMinimal

The first problem is in the InstallUISequence. You should use:
<Show Dialog="CustomWelcomeDlg" Before="CustomWelcomeEulaDlg">
Installed AND PATCH
</Show>
<Show Dialog="CustomWelcomeEulaDlg" Before="ProgressDlg">
NOT Installed
</Show>
In the CustomWelcomeEulaDlg, the Back and Next buttons should be like this:
<Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="156" Y="243"
Width="56" Height="17" Disabled="yes" Text="Back" />
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" ElevationShield="yes"
X="212" Y="243" Width="80" Height="17" Default="yes"
Text="Next" Hidden="yes">
<Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="InstallTypeDlg">1</Publish>
</Control>
And in the InstallTypeDlg, the Back and Install buttons should be similar to this:
<Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="156" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Disabled="yes" Text="Back">
<Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="CustomWelcomeEulaDlg">1</Publish>
</Control>
<Control Id="Install" Type="PushButton" ElevationShield="yes" X="212" Y="243"
Width="80" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="Install" Hidden="yes">
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" />
</Control>
I'm confused about the correct procedure for setting a Property in Wix. Is it necessary to use an Event? Are there existing, built-in, events and can they be tailored to custom Wix Properties? What I'm trying to do (with Wix 3.0) is install a IIS Virtual Directory using a custom UI. The problem here is that the property I'm attempting to set the virtual directory name with is not being over-written from the value provided in the interface. The other property here used for the installation path is being over-written and it looks like the Event="SetTargetPath" is what is taking care of that, am I wrong or missing something with this installation UI? Thanks much for your help.

Is it necessary to use an Event? Are there existing, built-in, events and can they be tailored to custom Wix Properties?
No, it is not necessary to use an Event to set property values; they can be set explicitly, via custom actions, or from conditions. To answer the second question, no, there isn't an event model which you can tailor to custom properties within Wix.
I can't help but wonder if your problem of the virtual directory name not being set has to do with your VIRTUALDIR property not having the Secure attribute. Take a look at this model. I'm not certain, but I think only secure properties can move from the client (pink) area to the server (green) area.
Perhaps try adding Secure="yes" to the property and see if that does the trick?
